We are so very tired of you.
Sen. Lindsey Graham has apologized for his remarks about Nancy Pelosi. Miffed that she was not having the proper reaction to American not-President Benjamin Netanyahu's very important speech, he said
after the speech:
“Did you see Nancy Pelosi on the floor? Complete disgust. If you can get through all the surgeries, there’s disgust.”
But
now he says:
“I made a poor attempt at humor to talk about her reaction and for that I apologize,” he said, adding, ”[Netanyahu] is not the problem in the mid-east, it’s the Iranians, and anyone who wants to focus on the Prime Minister of Israel I think has got their priorities wrong.”
Apparently he was just so terribly wounded by someone not applauding the proper number of times during the foreign leader's speech that he lost control of his senses. How
dare she not like what the fellow had to say.
Honestly, I tire of these people. There's only so much mean-spirited nonsense-peddling a person can take, and even the supposed important and/or distinguished Republican voices fill that bin up on a daily basis. What Graham's apology sidesteps is the decade-long Republican obsession with turning Nancy Pelosi into some sort of presumed demon creature, almost entirely for daring to exist, and it's gone on so long that even the world's dullest man thinks nothing of tossing some plastic-surgery-themed insults her way.
I don't know if he's apologizing because he insulted her or just apologizing because it wasn't funny, and I don't care. Lindsey Graham will no doubt appear on the Sunday Talk shows next weekend to gush over Netanyahu's tired rhetoric yet again, at which point he will embarrass himself in some new way that we'll all be obliged to talk about because Lindsey Effing Graham is among the best minds the Republican Party has to offer America. I don't mean that in a good way.
